Да у николло интересная такитика с расселением, в дуэлях.




Just finished game between khaletski (The Ottomans) and gqlradio (The Netherlands). The Netherlands won. I spawned between the two deer tiles. I moved my settler to hill and bought the deer tile asap to get a quick early growth. My place is suitable for large city and I found enermy quite far away. So I went for tradition. I was lucky about the horses too, 2 in my capital. Khaletski went for liberty and expanded quickly. I built Hanging Garden and after that The Great Library, while he built Pyramids and Stonehenge. When he attacked Sydney, I have a weaker army compared to him, and it's really hard for me to defense Sydney because of the terrain. After he got Sydney, it's hard for me to get Sydney, so I played defensively. I was faster to have crossbowman, but he had a lots of bowmen, which forced me to build crossbowmen for a while and delayed my great wall. He had the great wall 1 turn faster than me, which nearly cost me the game. A lots of great generals were exchanged between Amsterdam and Sydney. He chose great general from liberty and got 1 extra general from honor. I got 1 extra general from honor. I used knights and crossbowmen to defense against crossbowmen. Because of The Great Wall, knights can not retreat properly sometimes. I found musketmen not useful against Great Wall, so I built crossbowmen only. After a while 4 of his generals and 3 of mine is exchanged. Then he failed a move, his general got killed. I managed to put my general down to make 7 of 8 citadels mine. After a few turns, he surrendered. He chose +1 hammer for pantheon, +percentage hammer and +happiness for religion. I chose +10 percent growth. I didn't have a religion. Our production rates were really close early game. He had a lead in production after he got Sydney and founded religion. I had a lead in production after I built workshop and ironwork. And I had the lead in science throughout the game.
Что-то я не совсем понял - потерял генерала, психанул, сдался?! Учитывая что турецкие войска по скрину поломали все крепости, а боевые действия на своей территории вести не доводится, да и было бы легко в виду великой стены. И потом, сипахи, которые не тратят ход на грабеж, которые убивают арбалетов и особенно конницу врага просто в щепки, я считаю, аннигилировали бы противника.
Да, и город Конью, наверное, стоило бы ставить не севернее Амстердама, а южнее, левее овец. Открывался бы еще один фланг для маневров, да и имея генерала, можно было бы стать на лошадей и отхватить еще 2 крепости.
Короче, зря капитулировал.
Janissary is actually not that useful. Usually, units are saved carefully against them. Sipahi is just slightly stronger than lancer, not by a lot. Since I had more production and a big lead in science and there were no chance for him to get my capital, I could have artillery very soon by Leaning Tower of Pisa and Oxford University. After that, it would be easy. It's just a matter of time.
I admit I was lucky to have a good large capital position and we were very far away to each other.
Занимательный гамбит через вольку. Через традицию двумя городами рыцарство в районе 80-го открывается (+/- 5-10 в зависимости от местности), но поди ж ты отбейся на 60-х от такой орды меткихНаплодил как саранчи ))
П.С. Легионер, выходи! Отправил приглашение в стиме, играть готов в районе 21:00 мск.
